she said, there was tlie plexsurc of thinking on (],>■
jilny before she went, the pleasure she cnjtivt-d
while there, and the pleasure of ruminating on it
in her bed at night. Mr. Hervey, who sat ami
heard herdi.scour.se without interrupting her, said
to her in a mild manner, that there was on,.
pleasure besides what she had mentioned, which
she had forgotten. "What can that bo?" said
she, "for sure I included every pleasure when ]
considered the enjoyment beforehand, at the time.
and afterward ; pray, what is it?" Mr. llervcv.
with a grave look, and in a manner peculiar u>
himself, replied, " Madam, the pleasure it will give
you on your death-bed." A clap of thunder, or
a flash of lightning, would not have struck her
with more suqiri.se—the stroke went to her very
heart. She had not one word to say, but during
the rest of the journey seemed quite occupied in
thinking upon it. In short, the consequence of
this well-timed sentence was, that she never after
went to the play-house, but became a pious woman,
and a follower of those pleasures which would afford her true satisfaction even on her death bed.

furnished by the article in question.
The writer of the letter informs us, that there in

visited that nation about two years ago, and upon
enquiry respecting their schools, he was informed
by their agent, that one or two day schools were
kept up, a few months in the year; for the support

the public funds.
In the fourteenth number of our former volume,
a concise notice was given of the schools among
the Shawnese in that neighborhood, which were
supported respectively by Friends, Methodists ami
Baptists. It appears that a number of the Wyan-
dott children are inmates of these schools. The
manual labour school, we are told by the letter in
question, is not among the Wyandotts, but among
the Shawnese, and under the direction of the Methodists. The fact of any slaves being held by the
Wyandotts is called in question, though it appears
there are a few among the Shawnese, some of
whom are said to be connected with the manual
labour school.
If any of our correspondents are possessed ot information, entirely authentic, respecting the numbers and condition of the native tribes, who occupy

appear not unlikely, in the coming age. to be found
only on the historian's page. Surely humanity and
religion must unite in the effort to save the sinking
race from utter extermination. Anil disappear they
must, before the .resistless tide of civilization, unless they can be induced to acquire the arts, and
adopt the habits of civilized life.
We have allotted a considerable space to the extracts from Henry Clay's letter on emancipation,
and to comments upon it, but nut more, we apprehend, than the importance of the subject demands.
While we may rejoice to find, emanating from that
quarter, so ample an acknowledgment of the injustice of slavery, we cannot fail to deplore the existence, in such a mind as that of Henry Clay, of
a prejudice which gives a sanction to measures,
and even covers them with a veil of humanity,
which if applied to any class of our population, except the descendants of the African race, would be
universally condemned as outrageously unjust.
While we sincerely rejoice in the prosperity of the
colonies which have been formed on the African
coast, and heartily desire their success in diverting
the commerce with Africa from one in the persons of
men, to the legitimate objects of trade,we must rega rd
the plan of making the expatriation of the coloured
race an essential condition of their release from
bondage, as unjust in principle, deceptive in character, and likely to prove, in its practical operation,
an insuperable bar to the extinction of slavery.
The supposition that Kentucky can colonize, on the
African shore, her 182,000 slaves, or their still more
numerous descendants, appears too extravagant for
sober admission. And the doctrine that the two
races cannot exist together, if both are free, is
therefore neither more nor less than a declaration
that slavery shall not be extinguished.
